You're mistaken. We never were

SCARLET FEVER.

The Treatments in Vogue Among the Lend
Ing English Practitioners.
would be interesting ifa census
were to be taken with view to asccr-
tain what treatment of scarlet fever
was most in vogue among practition-
ers to-day. We suspect that not ar
inconsiderable portion of this vote
would fall to the lot Of expectancy. by
which must be understood the absence
Of any attempt to arrest the course of
the malady, combined with great
watchfulness Of the symptoms and the
treatment Of the most dangerous Of
these morbid phenomena. The present
epidemic is for the most part of mild
nature, but considerable attention has
to be given to the throat, which seems
to suffer in marked degree, the gland
ular swelling being correspondingly
marked. Hence it will be found that
gargles Of all kinds, and especially
those of an antiseptic nature. are
freely used, together with COM
presses Of various degrees Of
heat and moisture applied to
the neck. Most practitioners. even
those Of the most expectant schools,
employ topical applications to the
throat and nose. Many articles are
used to relieve the thirst and sensa-
ton of dryness, but nothing is more
effective than ice and little raspberry
vinegar. 1t is important to keep the
nostri!s and nasal passages sweet and
clean. For cerebral symptoms, moth
ing IS better than the application of
cold. either in the mild form of lint
soaked in ice water and applied to the
shaven head, or in the more effective
capilline tubes, with irrigation. Com
preston of the carotid arteries and
bleeding are seldom practiced nova
days. either in scarlet or any other
fever. Aconite in minute doses, fire.
quently repeated, is still the fayorite
drug Of many practitioners, but its
employment needs the exercise of elm
ical discretion, especially in children.
Actual bathing in cool or tepid water is
practiced by but few physicians, though
the number of practitioners who rec
ommcnd the use of cold or tepid spong-
ing, the patient lying in bed on a
macintosh, appears to be largely on
the increase. Most Of the alleged spe-
cific and curative agents have long
since lapsed into discredit Belladonna
finds but few adherents. and carbonate
Of ammonia almost none. Considera-
BILE difference Of opinion exists on the
merits Of Injunction with fat, cold
cream, and the like, two of the most
recent authors on the diseases of chill
dren taking opposite views, DR.. Good
hart advocating and DR.. Angel Money
opposing the universal Injunction,
though the latter sees no objection to
relieving the tension of the palms and
soles by the application of geoline or

Attention by Alfred, the old servant

its manner conveys the idea of COM

he said: ''Sit here in the hall till open

he said, not loquaciously, but with an
interest which repetition does not
lessen: That's General Jackson's

AN ANT FUNERAL.



BE Doubted.
Some Of our readers may think that
the following description has ro-
mantle sound. but it is extracted from
the Proceedings Of the Linn@an So
ciety." having been communicated to
that learned body by an observer in
Australia The writer saw lar 60
number Of ants surrounding those
that he had killed, and determined to
watch their proceedings closely. Ac-
cordingly he followed four or five that
started off from the rest toward a
hillock short distance of. in which
was an ants nest.
This they entered, and in about five
minutes they reaprcared. followed by
others. All fell into rank. walking
regularly and slowly, two by two.
until they arrived at the spot where
,ay the dead bodies Of the soldier ants.
In few minutes two of the ants adj
vanced and took up the body Of one Of
their comrades; then two others, and
50 on, until all were ready to march.
First walked two ants bearing body.
then two without burden; then two
others with another dead ant, and so
on, until the line was extended to
about forty pairs, and the procession
now moved slowly onward, followed
by an irregular body of about
two hundred ants. Occasionally the
two laden ants stopped. and laying
down the dead body. it was taken up
by the two walking unburdened be-
hind them. and thus. by occasionally
relieving each other, they arrived at a
sandy spot near the sea. The body Of
ants now commenced digging with
their jaws number Of holes in the
ground. in each Of which dead ant
was laid. Then they fell to and filed
up the graves This did not quite fin
ish the remarkable circumstances at
tending this insect funeral. Some six
or seven Of the ants had attempted to
run of without performing their share
Of the task Of digging; these were
caught and brought back, when they
were at once attacked and killed upon
the spot. A single grave wa quickly
dug. and they were all dropped into

How Many Women Make House. Keeping
Terrible burden.
A woman's instinct of cleanliness Is
so strong that she will actually squan-
der time in unnecessary work, just as
squirrel in cage will store up nuts
by force Of his instinct of accumulation.
II some house-keepers had double the
time at their disposal that they have
now, yet they would manage to occupy
it with superhuous duties. But this is
going farther than any semblance OF a
reason can attempt to excuse. There Is
no sense in working like this.
A woman can be good house-keeper
without taking all her time to do her
homework. II she can not let her
after all be satisfied to be an ordinarily
good one and take some of the time
from her previously self-imposed
drudgery for reading, education Of
children, self-improvement and for
recreation. There is no reason why
long programme of work should be
laid out for every day, nor why it should
be carried through at all hazards. II
each hour of the day is arranged for
some kind Of work, one hour ut least
ought to be set apart for recreation.
and that hour of all others rigidly OBJ
served.
These housekeepers who are facing
80 much superfluous work every day.
never think of doing such thing as
reading newspaper or gathering in
formation that will enable them to im-
prove the quality of their work. They
do not know what is taking place in
the world, of which they are so small
part They like to listen to other
peoples tales but never think of in-
forming themselves by reading or OBJ
servation. The children ask her ques-
tons that any one would be supposed
| to be able to answer, and are sent to
somebody else for reply, or put of with
no satisfaction at all. They soon come
| to the conclusion that mother isn't sup
posed to know any thing outside Of
housekeeping.
The reader has seen the more agree
| able housewife who is not always fur
bishing up something and yet who has
| a house so clean that no sense detects
any thing unclean, the housewife who is
a companionable sort Of person, at least
fairly well informed regarding the
events of the day as well as her special
daily duties, and who finds time to get
out Of that everlasting grind Of work
that extinguishes a manifestation OF
those womanly and motherly instincts
that may make her an adorable wife
and mother If they are not laid aside
for that perpetual cleaning and multi
plying of work that make everyone
uncomfortable at home. Such a house
wife is by no means a rarity, and her
opposite, the one who squanders time
in superfuous duties, ought to culti-
vate her acquaintance. Good House,
